: Pantera Vs. 'NSYNC

Pantera fans are in an all out war against
'NSYNC. No, they are not bashing young teenage girls upside their heads.
What they are doing is mobilizing to position Pantera ahead of 'NSYNC where
it counts the most, in album sales.
Here is the deal. Pantera's long awaited
new album is going to be released on March 21st. That's the same day as
'NSYNC's new cd "No Strings Attached" comes out. Now Pantera's street team
is making a full frontal assault encouraging metal heads to join the fight
by buying the new Pantera album the first week of release. They want to
show the world that music is not dominated by boy bands, and metal is alive
and well. The ultimate goal? To "KILL THE TREND".
Will they succeed? If history does indeed
repeat itself they just might. In 1994, Pantera's Far Beyond Driven claimed
the top spot on Billboard's album charts. On the other hand, 'NSYNC's new
single, "Bye, Bye, Bye",
from their forthcoming album
was the number one most added track at over 200 contemporary hit radio
stations last week. What's more this is a record breaker. The old record
was 145 station additions by guess who? Yup, the Backstreet Boys with their
song, "I Want It That Way."
Who is going to win? Is this really
war? If so, which side will you take?

out with Old Spice.
